Hey this is a beat I worked on, y'all comparisons are right I was very inspired by Timbaland and Jay-Z at the time. Thanks for listening! 🖤

[@justjen8766]

In the MV, Taeyong hacks the metaverse and sends different versions of himself into the wrong time periods. Despite that, they still thrive in the eras they were thrown in. The concept of the MV is to show that we can shalala (shine) anywhere, even though we’re different. I’ve also seen people speculate that the “god” of the metaverses symbolize the conformity of society, a being that is sloppy, lazy , and wants things to go how they programmed it to be, without anything new to bring to the table. Overall, the whole album is amazing! I recommend watching his video “Definition of Taeyong” or his interactive highlight medley “Choose T or Y”- both explain the meanings behind each song. It’s evidently a deeply personal album for him, and I’m so glad it’s finally out

[@justjen8766]

Agree that you should watch "Definition of Taeyong." He goes through and explains his inspiration for each song and introduces some of the producers and others who worked on the album with him. It's also creatively edited with animations.

[@minimasuo]

What an interesting username you have! This is a great explanation and the god being conformity is something I didn't think of that makes a lot of sense. (Of course taking on god is also the ultimate flex, eh?) 😋

[@DrSimpleBeauty]

Sounds like these are hip hop samples “Fire it Up” by Busta Rhymes, “Drop It Like its Hot” “Snoop Dogg, “Teach Me How to Dougie”(on the bridge)….etc. Definitely new as a sound coming from KPop but totally on brand for a rapper like Taeyong. He’s paying homage in this song and personally I love it.

[@ireneserrano4570]

woooow you're back! and thank you so much for reacting to Taeyong!! LC i think you will like some of his bsides! Virtual Insanity, 404 File not found and Back to the Past are my favorites in the album!

[@HigherFaculty]

404 File not found!?!?! Thought our video wasn't uploading for a second LOL

[@ireneserrano4570]

@@HigherFaculty LMAO! well, that song actually is dope as f!! He also made some teasers for his album and there is part of animation in it, i think Freddo will be interested to check those out too! Taeyong also did something cool, he uploaded one teaser video and imbebed at the end the access for the other 2 teaser videos, so you can't find them in YT by searching, only through that one video. It' called "Chose T or Y. Taeyong shalala track film". ISN'T THAT DOPE AND CREATIVE AS F?

[@justjen8766]

@@ireneserrano4570 Yes! All of the teasers were art!

[@ytanyt]

this new EP from taeyong is veeeeery self produced!!! :D he's been working on these songs for the last couple of years actually!! i def recommend checking out the rest of the ep :3 btw love ur reactions hehehhe been watching for a bit

[@hortbeck]

You need to hear this whole album!!

[@ravaretta466]

Thank you! Great reactions as always! Looking forward to the album reviews pls, Taeyong's songs all of them! All of them are so meaningful and deep also beautiful, of course cool as well. Hope you will do, thank you

[@Mcgturtle3]

I think the concept is that the hacker taeyong put different versions of Taeyongs in different time periods and even tho they “didn’t belong” and were weird (ex the knight not knowing interpersonal skills and had a sword up to his bosses neck lol) they still achieved great things and had fun. Like the knight from the 1800s got employee of the month in the 1980s. And the yeti Taeyong from the ice age was killing it at bowling and got first place in 2023. So yeah I think the moral is even if you don’t fit into society perfectly as planned you can still make the best of it and just do you

[@serendipity9975]

thank you for reaction taeyong solo debut! taeyong wrote and compose all of the song in this album! my fav bside is 404 and move mood mode

[@clandestinecoherence]

the album is a masterpiece. thanks for this reaction!!

[@thezircadia]

This whole album is super great as well - I love all the appreciation for his vision and skills. For me, in the album the flow through the songs is so good. It is set up to loop perfectly. My favorite transition is from Ruby into 404 File Not Found, but the whole thing is amazing.

[@drenkard]

Each song on this album is so different with completely different vibes. Listening to the album was an emotional journey. So many gems.

[@Mcgturtle3]

404 file not found is my fav off the shalala album

[@Amity-y]

Taeyong is really great, I really like his works this time, let me know him better, and thank you for your reactions😍

[@webercheeks5553]

He once said that “everyone and even the normal daily me can also be fancy and shalala” which might explain the different characters he played.

[@justjen8766]

Ya'll really need to hear the rest of Taeyong's album! "404 File Not Found" is incredible!

[@jazsanc82]

Hey, sounds like you guys been doing some big things. A film huh... I've ya'll doing stuff on Instagram, so we know you been busy. Keep up the good work. Taeyongs album is really good. He mixed a lot of different flavors in this. If you watch his showcase for the album he discusses his view on each song. Pretty good. See ya in the next one.

[@98765KSC]

The key point is “imma shine” in whatever metaverse and era u put me in. And it applies not just to Taeyong but to everyone. It’s about having confidence.

[@samsamsam1662]

I'm so happy you actually followed the storyline up to the point of taeyong hacking into the system 😅 so many reactors just give up without even trying... Anyway hacker ty hacks into god's system and switches around a knight, a yeti, and a gamer from different universes for shits and giggles. But they each manage to do very well in the new universes so god gets mad and deleted everything 😂

[@remixedv]

You didn't hear 'Incoming' but your senses was felt by all. If you know Taeyong the entire video concept is his personality. Great reaction guys, glad to see yah.

[@michellemobley1]

I love taeyeong dude is talented

[@hortbeck]

[@FairyElliot]

Welcome back guys!! this song is sooo catchy Also... Ten dropped a solo song called "Birthday" *chef's kiss* (it's r&b so I think Fredo will like it) ; Mark also dropped a solo Ateez had one of the best comebacks of the year with "Bouncy" less than a week ago and Seventeen with "Super".

[@ltybaek]

the concept is basically he can do anything, he can be anything haha. it was basically about his first Paris fashion week appearance. also thanks for reacting to shalala, I was really waiting for your reaction !

[@cyninshadows7041]

HeyGuys! So glad to see you back for Taeyong! Im a Playwright so may I offer a bit of theatre history for context. If we go ALL the way back to the Greek Classics, tragedy (the fall of kings) always arises from misadventure due to some basic flaw in their own character. A favorite flaw is HUBRIS which is beyond your basic rap swag & brag, hubris is major OVER reaching, literally to DEFY (TEMPT THE WRATH) of The Gods. In this case thats likely "The Kpop Powers That Be". So we see NEOgreen Taeyong GLEEFULLY create chaos in "gods" master plane by picking his avatars, yetis a gameboy & a knight, then plunking them down in unlikely places in his own playful metaverse where they manage to thrive . With his extreme flexing this hacker is asking for a heavenly smackdown. And he gets one. As he drags the metabus and its tossed about passengers to the cosmic trash, GOD is SO very...not amused.

[@ChauEsme]

Please listen to Taeyong whole mini album. He composes all the songs.

[@0DDISH]

YOURE BACK
